orchid flasks

How many litters of agar and flasks are needed to flask 3 orchid seed pods?

If you could give me a basic estimate it would be nice I’m asking only experienced orchid hobbiests only.
The seed pods are from phalanopsis.

The seed pods of orchids contain up to 1million seeds and one mother flask should not contain more than 800-1000. So you need a lot of flasks and Agar, if you really want to bread seeds of three pods.

Here is a link to a forum-chapter: “Propagation – Flasking, Cloning, Lab Techniques” to find hints or to ask specialists:

And this one gives general info ( chapter 1.7 > propagation )

Hope you find some useful references!
